NH4+-tetraalkyl ammonium systems in the synthesis of zeolites

Nature volume 285, pages 30–31 (1980)Cite this article

Abstract

ZSM-5 (ref.1) and ZSM-11 (ref. 2) are silica-rich aluminosilicate zeolites with similar two-dimensional intersecting channel structures. They are conventionally synthesised from Na+–tetraalkylammonium (Na+–TAA) systems at high pH and temperatures around 160°C (refs 3–6). We report here what we believe to be the first use of systems free of alkali metal ions in the synthesis of the zeolites ZSM-5 and ZSM-11.
